Coloring composition and coating composition

ABSTRACT

A water-based coloring composition and a water-based coating composition with each of which the number of operation steps in dyeing, printing, painting, coating or the like can be significantly reduced. The compositions enable functional compounds to be satisfactorily fixed to the substrate to be processed, and attain satisfactory fastness. The compositions do not impair the feeling of the substrate. The water-based coating composition is obtained by mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a cationic water-soluble polymer. The coloring composition, which is for use in dyeing, printing, painting, or coating, is obtained by mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a cationic water-soluble polymer and then mixing the mixture with functional compounds such as a dye, pigment, drug, deodorant, perfume, etc.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a water-based coloring composition and a water-based coating composition which can be used for dyeing, printing, painting, coating, or the like.

BACKGROUND ART

In the field of dyeing using dyes or pigments as colorants, a direct dye, a reactive dye, an acid dye, a disperse dye, a pigment, or the like is used in accordance with a type of a fiber to be dyed. In any case, many postprocessing steps are necessary after the dyeing step and this requires a large amount of labor and, in addition, there are problems such as consumption of a large amount of water, consumption of a large amount of energy for heating and steaming, and increase in an equipment expense and an expenditure for waste fluid processing.

For example, in a dip dyeing type dyeing method using the direct dye or the reactive dye, a cationic dye fixing agent is generally used to improve the fastness (such as water fastness, light fastness, and chlorine fastness) of a substrate to be dyed. However, since either of the dyes is fixed onto the substrate by immersing the substrate into an aqueous solution of the dye fixing agent after the substrate is dyed with the direct dye or the reactive dye, many operation steps are necessary as a whole.

Further, when wool, silk, nylon, or the like is dyed with an acid dye, since tannin treatment is required as postprocessing to improve the water fastness, many operation steps are necessary as a whole.

Furthermore, an acrylic emulsion might be used as a gluing material or a binder in a printing ink containing a pigment as a colorant. In this case however, since the pigment needs to be fixed onto the substrate to be dyed by postprocessing such as steaming after the substrate is dyed with the ink, many operation steps are necessary as a whole.

On the other hand, an acrylic copolymer emulsion is extensively used as a finishing agent or a peeling preventive agent to improve of the feeling of yarn or wool. However, a conventional finishing agent having an excellent adhesion property of a coating film formed of the finishing agent disadvantageously impairs the feeling of the yarn or the wool. On the other hand, a finishing agent capable of maintaining the feeling of the yarn or the wool disadvantageously has a poor adhesion property.

When a dye is mixed with a dye fixing agent before dyeing a fiber, linkage of the dye with the dye fixing agent causes agglomeration. As a result, the fiber cannot be dyed with the dye anymore and so the dye can neither be used as a colorant nor as an ink. Further, even when the fiber is dyed with an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive mixed with the dye, a satisfactory water fastness cannot be obtained.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a coloring composition and water-based coating composition with each of which the number of operation steps in dyeing, printing, painting, coating or the like can be significantly reduced. The compositions enable functional compounds to be satisfactorily fixed to the substrate to be processed, and attain satisfactory fastness.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a water-based coating composition with which the number of operation steps for coating treatment can be significantly reduced. The composition enables the composition to be satisfactorily fixed to a yarn or wool product, attain satisfactory fastness, and suppress pilling without impairing the feeling of the yarn or wool product.

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION

As a result of an energetic study, the present inventor surprisingly found that a water-based coloring composition having remarkably excellent fastness and dyeing property can be obtained by mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with a cationic water-soluble polymer and then mixing the mixture with a dye.

When a substrate is dyed using the coloring composition containing this dye, although the coloring composition is water based, a color scarcely bleeds. Further, in a state where water contained in the coloring composition has been evaporated, the dyed substrate yields a good color and exhibits satisfactory water fastness without impairing the feeling thereof. Accordingly, a step of dyeing the substrate with the coloring composition can be usually completed only by drying the substrate as is.

The present inventor further found that a water-based coloring composition having excellent fastness and dyeing property as well can be obtained by mixing the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with the cationic water-soluble polymer and then mixing the mixture with a pigment. The adhesion property of the pigment contained in the coloring composition onto a substrate to be dyed is remarkably improved as compared with a coloring composition provided by simply mixing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and a pigment.

Further, when a substrate is dyed with the coloring composition containing the pigment, although the coloring composition is water based, a color scarcely bleeds. In a state where water contained in the coloring composition has been evaporated, the dyed substrate yields a good color and exhibits satisfactory water fastness without impairing the feeling thereof. Accordingly, a step of dyeing the substrate with the coloring composition can be usually completed only by drying the substrate as is.

Furthermore, the coloring composition containing the pigment can be used to dye any fiber structure without placing limitation on types of fibers. Further, the surfaces of paper, wood, stone, glass, plastic, or the like can also be dyed easily and firmly with the coloring composition.

Furthermore, the solvent prepared by mixing the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with the cationic water-soluble polymer has excellent adhesion property onto a member to be dyed and further, when the water contained in the solvent is evaporated, a polymer resin film having excellent flexibility, transparency, gloss, and repellency is formed. Accordingly, the present inventor found that the solvent is appropriate as a coating agent and, in particular, is effective as a coating agent for prevention of pilling on a yarn product, a wool product, or the like.

The present inventor further found that, when the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive is mixed with the cationic water-soluble polymer then the mixture is mixed with other functional compounds, for example, a drug, a perfume, a deodorant, or the like together with or without a dye or a pigment, a coloring composition capable of exhibiting the effects of the functional compounds can be obtained.

Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided the coloring composition for dyeing, printing, painting, or coating containing an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and functional compounds such as a cationic water-soluble polymer, dye, pigment, drug, deodorant, perfume, or the like, the coloring composition being provided by mixing the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive with the cationic water-soluble polymer and then mixing the mixture with the functional compounds.

When the mixture of the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and the cationic water-soluble polymer is mixed with functional compounds such as a dye, pigment, medial agent, fragrance, or deodorant, and a functional compound used herein is readily soluble in an aqueous medium, the functional compound is dissolved in a suitable amount of the aqueous medium to prepare an aqueous solution and then the solution is mixed with the mixture of the aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive and the cationic water-soluble polymer.

When textiles of various types of fibers were coated with the coating liquid and dried naturally at a room temperature, it was confirmed that effects of the functional compounds such as the perfume, deodorant, drug, or the like were exhibited.

Furthermore, when an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising a resin component of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer was used instead of an aqueous-emulsion-type acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive comprising a resin component of an acrylic resin-vinyl acetate copolymer as a modification of any one of Examples 1 to 3, it was confirmed that a coloring composition or a coating composition enabling attainment of primary objects of the present invention could be obtained although the feeling and water fastness of a substrate were somewhat deteriorated.
